Paving and surfaces

“Transportation is within the 36% of the total energy consumption of the country - according to the ACTION PLAN 2008-2012. The transport sector is responsible for the emission of 32 % of the greenhouse gases (especially CO2)”.

As the CO2 emission from combustion engines are heavier than air (air:1,4; CO2:1,8) they lie close to the ground, therefore the incorporation of GeoSilex® to the road surfaces and urban sidewalks acts very effectively collecting that CO2.

The environmental legislation has also advanced in last two decades. The most significant are: LAW 34/2007, of November 15, of quality of the air and protection of the atmosphere; The Urban Environment Strategy, Strategy of Sustainable Development, Thematic European Strategy of Urban Environment, January 11 of 2.006 and the Green Book of Urban Environment.
